    Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots.

    236

    Let into the wall was a star-shaped light.

    237

    244

    Natalie stood at the end of the hall, half hidden behind the wall, her eyes large and imploring.

    245

    Natasha jumped on it, sank into the feather bed, rolled over to the wall, and began snuggling up the bedclothes as she settled down, raising her knees to her chin, kicking out and laughing almost inaudibly, now covering herself up head and all, and now peeping at her mother.

    246

    Neither a hero nor a Good Samaritan, Wynn found himself retreating to the far wall, in case the worst-case scenario happened, and one of the powerful creatures decided to act.

    247

    Nervous, uneasy, she made her way down the wall toward the Council members, who held court with themselves.

    248

    No one chased her, and she stopped to hide in the shadows of the stone wall at the end of the drive to catch her breath.

    249

    North of the Temple enclosure there was a gate, known as the Sheep Gate, which must have opened into the third valley mentioned above, and stood somewhere near what is now the north side of the Haram enclosure, but considerably south of the present north wall of the latter.

    250

    Nothing felt right, so she decided to tuck her hands behind her back and simply lean against the wall.

    251

    On the east and west the ravines already mentioned afforded, in the main, a sufficient protection, so that a massive wall was unnecessary, while near the south-eastern angle a breastwork was formed by the excavation of the natural rock, 2 which in later times was honeycombed with tombs.

    252

    One wall of his cell lit up suddenly.

    253

    One whole wall was lined with homemade brandy.

    254

    Only there was now a wall at one end, he noted.

    255

    260

    Princess Mary's heart beat so violently at this news that she grew pale and leaned against the wall to keep from falling.

    261

    Reaching the wall, Deidre ignored the scrape of concrete against her hands and knees as she clambered on top.

    262

    263

    Rhyn pushed himself away from the wall.

    264

    Rhyn retreated to the wall and sat with his back against it, staring at the healer that held the woman protectively in his arms.

    265

    Rhyn snorted and let his head drop back against the stone wall.

    266

    Rhyn tossed the demon against the wall with enough power to break its back.

    267

    Rhyn was gone, and she leaned against the wall.

    268

    Rhyn watched him go, wondering just what his brother was planning, and how he.d figure it out before Katie was hung on the wall next to his mother.

    269

    Scaling the wall once again, she dropped to her feet and was still for a long moment, using her senses to see if anyone was there.

    270

    Scrawled across the wall in magic marker was his two-word epi­taph, Why not?

    271

    Seating herself on the bed, she stared at a wall for a long time before pulling herself out of the trance.

    272

    Sensing the level of tension in the room, Rhyn didn.t sit but leaned with his back against the wall, ready to launch across the table at whoever snapped first.

    273

    Several soldiers gathered by the wall of the trench, looking out to see what was happening in front.

    274

    Shaken, she leaned against the nearest wall and sank into a sit, disgusted to see there was blood on her clothing.

    275

    She backpedaled until the wall stopped her.

    276

    She carefully removed it from the wall; she couldn't let him wake to this.

    277

    She closed her eyes as she stepped into and through the wall and opened them after two steps.

    278

    She clung to the wall, at a loss as to what to do.

    279

    She cried out and arched, blinded by pain as he held her against the wall.

    280

    She exited and touched the wall of one corridor.

    281

    She flung a knife against the wall in anger then strode out of the Black God's chamber to the ground floor.

    282

    She forked some hay to Princes and leaned the pitchfork against the wall near the door.

    283

    She gazed up at him with angry eyes, and he stepped forward until her lush little body was pinned by his to the wall.

    284

    She gestured toward the leather sofa against the office wall.

    285

    She glanced at the clock on the wall behind him.

    286

    She ground her teeth, on the verge of throwing her cup at the wall before her.

    287

    She headed for the door in the wall that led from the gardens to the exterior of the compound.

    288

    She heard herself scrape against the wall as she fell and was out before she hit the floor.

    289

    She hit the wall hard and landed on the ground, unconscious.

    290

    She hung the picture back on the wall and turned toward the door.

    291

    She lay on the sofa with her face to the wall, fingering the buttons of the leather cushion and seeing nothing but that cushion, and her confused thoughts were centered on one subject--the irrevocability of death and her own spiritual baseness, which she had not suspected, but which had shown itself during her father's illness.

    292

    She leaned against a wall, overlooking a stretch of rocky terrain punctuated with patches of yellow-green grass.

    293

    She leaned against the waist-high wall.

    294

    She leaned against the wall and drew a deep breath, praying A'Ran trusted this Council member for a reason.

    295

    She leaned against the wall, eyeing the distance from her position to the rock on which Rhyn sat.

    296

    She leaned against the wall, pensive.

    297

    She leaned against the wall, trembling visibly.

    298

    She leaned back against the wall and drew her knees up to her chest.

    299

    She leaned her head against the shower wall, exhausted.

    300

    She leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes.

    301

    She leaned the broom against the wall, unhappy to see the creature but feeling bad for it.

    302

    She leaned the pitchfork against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

    303

    She made her way to the wall, needing to feel the cool ocean breeze.

    304

    She moved forward once again down an alley leading directly to the open area before the wall.

    305

    She picked up a book to read to them and rested her back against the wall.

    306

    She pushed at the black wall again, wanting to remember.

    307

    She pushed away from the wall, trying not to reveal her shame.

    308

    She pushed herself away and leaned against a wall.

    309

    She raised an eyebrow and leaned against the wall.

    310

    She rested her cheek against the cool stone wall.

    311

    She rose and crossed to the keypad wall again.

    312

    She sagged against the wall and gripped her bleeding neck.

    313

    She sat on the edge of the fountain and looked up at the glyphs on the wall.

    314

    She sat on the table in the exam room facing a line of backlit x-rays and cat scans on the wall.

    315

    She sensed a brick wall and hesitated, considering.

    316

    She shoved herself away from the wall and staggered down the hall.

    317

    She sighed again and leaned back against the wall, gazing out the window at the old renovated house.

    318

    She sighed and leaned back against the wall.

    319

    She slammed the door to the bathing chamber, flinching at the sounds of a loud curse and the clatter of a table smashing into the stone wall.

    320

    She slumped against the low wall, propping up her elbows and covering her face.

    321

    She slung the markers designating her as the Undersecretary's assistant against the wall then crushed them with the heel of her boot.

    322

    She smelled the ocean on the air and was surprised to see the strange stone cottage perched in the middle of a field hedged by a stone wall.

    323

    She snatched it and swept past him, popping it open as she neared a wall covered in a titanium glass screen.

    324

    She squeezed through the hole in the wall to find there wasn't enough of the floor left to walk on let alone make it to the door across the apartment.

    325

    She squinted through her fingers and braced herself against one wall to counter the effects the drugs had on her equilibrium as she moved down the long hallway.

    326

    She stared at a flower pattern on the wall.

    327

    She stared at him, not sure what to say or think about finding a man chained to her basement wall.

    328

    She stared at the wall across from her, angry and frustrated.

    329

    She stepped away until the wall was at her back.

    330

    She stepped inside, sagged against the wall, and lifted one bloodied foot.

    331

    She stepped into the hallway, unwilling to await a purposely slower-moving Romas, and touched the wall.

    332

    She stood in the center of what looked like a ski lodge with one massive wall of windows overlooking the mountains.

    333

    She strode to the wall again, quelling the urge to open it.

    334

    She swallowed hard and gazed at the charts on the wall.

    335

    She tested the grip of the guy who held her pinned to the wall.

    336

    She took in his wounds again, unable to fathom why her father would chain him to the wall in their wine cellar.

    337

    She took the currycomb from the wall and began grooming Princess.

    338

    She tossed the broom aside and felt vindicated when it bounced off the wall.

    339

    She trailed her fingers down a wall, smiling when she saw soft glimmers light up beneath her touch, trail her fingers a short distance, and blink out.

    340

    She trailed, groping around the wall nearest the door until she found a light switch.

    341

    She tried to pull away, but he pressed her harder against the wall until she could barely breathe.

    342

    She vaulted over a low stone wall, landing with a crunch in the dead grass on the other side.

    343

    She waited until she was certain he was distracted before she crept across the apartment, keeping as close to the wall farthest from him as possible.

    344

    She was pushed into the wall.

    345

    She went to the unoccupied fireplace and sat with her back to the wall, afraid of any Immortal who felt her draw enough to approach.

    346

    She wiped her mouth again and flung the rag against the wall, chest heaving.

    347

    She wiped the glass shards from the ledge and carefully stepped out, standing against the outside wall.

    348

    She wobbled and balanced herself against the wall.

    349

    She wrapped her arms around a pillow that smelled like him and stared at the wall, distraught by the feelings of both anger and need for the complicated man.

    350

    She wrenched free of his hold and pushed him hard enough to slide out from between him and the wall.

    351

    She yanked it open and gasped at the wall of man before her.

    352

    Sirian spoke to a flustered man near one wall.

    353

    Some fifteen men with merry shouts were shaking down the high wattle wall of a shed, the roof of which had already been removed.

    358

    Stairs traced the inside of the thick wall, and she walked up them.

    359

    Straightening from the wall, he reached out a hand to her.

    360

    Surprised, he crossed to the bars of his cell but found the whole wall disappeared when he touched it.

    361

    Taran glanced warily toward him as he led the horse toward stables nestled along one wall of the stone fortress.

    362

    Taran held his gaze, and Vara nodded in deference before wheeling the horse toward the northern wall.

    363

    Taran leaned against the wall opposite the closed door, pensive.

    364

    Taran lowered the bow, ignoring the stunned look on the faces of the wall guards on either side of him.

    365

    Taran shot her an angry look and pushed her past him, pinning her still against the wall with one arm.

    366

    Taran spent the night on the wall, fighting with the men who had treated him like a brother for a kingdom he wanted but would never have.

    367

    371

    The architrave is flat, and there is a space over it, serving both to admit light and to relieve the pressure on it from above, and the size decreases slightly from the bottom to the top. Within the doorway is, as a rule, a niche on the right, and a staircase ascending in the thickness of the wall to the left; in front is another similar doorway leading to the chamber in the interior, which is circular, and about 15 ft.

    The convent members who managed the Sanctuary had replaced the wall Rhyn knocked down with a row of brown tents that matched their dresses.  Rhyn eased between two of them, aware of Kiki's fading pulse.  He set his brother down on the ground and looked around wildly, hoping they hadn't sent Katie's Ancient Healer, Lankha, home to the underworld.

    382
